Ableton Forum

I am late to the party. Try this:

Do _all_ of the tricks. I fixed my Laptop and my PC with it.
Running like a charm both at ultralow latency..

HTH!

OK guys, I have found the final solution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbXzM60ad8I&t=549s Most important part is this: powercfg -attributes 54533251-82be-4824-96c1-47b60b740d00 0cc5b647-c1df-4637-891a-dec35c318583 -ATTRIB_HIDE You can do the settings for core parking yourself then. But give t...

Meanwhile I have found a good lecture more detailed than anything I have read before:

By adding useful information. And by error analysis. Most of the posts in this thread are missing
basic information like the OS on which Live is being used. If it is Windows 10 or 11, which measures
were taken to solve the problem, etc. Keep on going.

I am sorry that my English is too bad, so: It does not seem that Ableton Live
is causing the spikes.. They also happen with Bitwig e.g.

I would not be that concerned if I did not plan to go for a live set up..

As i mentioned before: error analysis hints to an OS failure
as it happens with other daws, too.

Complete Fresh install Win 11, all updates. Live 11 latest, no third party plugins. Issue is - the same !. BTW: Using Bitwig also gave me some spikes.. Machine should be ridiculously fast: i9-13900HX with RTX 4050 GPU, RME UCX, up to date, RME Babyface pro alternative: no difference°! I tried _all_ ...

I tried that, too, no positive influence on the spikes.

Tried here, no difference.

What kind of graphix card do you use?

Honestly, after investigating this a little bit: I don't think it is
caused by Ableton Live but system processing.

I am sry, that was a bit too optimistic, the smaller dropouts are still there, but CPU load dropped for about 3 percent by the measures taken so far. On the CPU meter, if you toggle "Warn on CPU overload" the indicator next to it will light up when Live has noticed a dropout. Is it toggle...

I am sry, that was a bit too optimistic, the smaller dropouts are still there,
but CPU load dropped for about 3 percent by the measures taken so far.

The dropouts occur at a cpu load of just around 18-20 percent and are really short.
I guess it is not caused by Ableton Live but system config anyhow.

Update: I remembered that I used to conigure processor scheduling for backround processes back in the days as adviced by Ableton also. Did it (and a bit more) following this guide: https://www.thewindowsclub.com/processor-scheduling-in-windows-7-8 Looks a bit horrible but the spikes are _gone_ for n...
